You mention that the brand is unknown to you . Did you find out anything about the company or not? If not, they are Robinson Industries Ltd . www . robinhood . co . nz . robinhood . co . nz/index . html" target="_blank">www . robinhood . co . nz They seem to be mainly in Australia, but according to Consumer Magazine their rangehoods are manufactured in NZ . Consumer gave their Robinhood rangehood the best value for money in the last two tests, so at least they make something worthwhile . I don't know about their waste disposals though . Congratulations to you both and all the best for Saturday . Cheers . ExLL :) |

| 129558 | 2003-03-20 11:18:00 | Hiya Biily T I sold appliances from 1987 to 1998 - From memory Robinhood was Robinson Industries, and used to brand their products 'Rotec' . I recall the Rotec waste disposers as being blue in colour and fairly compact, but good value for money . We used to sell plenty of Rotec rangehoods and supertubs and the occasional built in ironing board contraption . I think the laundry tubs (suprtubs) are still branded Rotec supertubs . Anyway - the company was good to deal with, and if the price is right go for it . J :D |

| 129559 | 2003-03-20 21:52:00 | Thanks exLL & Jester If Robinhood is a local company that's good enough for me. The last one was a Masport and was still going strong, apart from the broken plastic pipe which I can't fix or replace (shame :8}). I prefer to buy from local manufacturers if I can, warranties take care of all the other issues. Cheers Billy 8-{) :D Thanks for the kind words exLL, I'll pass them on to Mrs T, she will be pleased to hear from you I am sure. |

| 129560 | 2003-03-20 22:33:00 | Mrs T is very lucky, I'm not allowed one of them gobbler things . :-( Blame the careless fools at HWMO's work cafe who forget that knives, forks, spoons and other such metal delicacies go into the dishwasher instead of the gobbler . HWMO swore years ago that no way was he going to dismantle and fix the beasts at home as well as at work, taking no notice of my pledges that I will never be so daft as to feed mine metal . My sister is always boasting about hers and how she would not be without it . It's not fair!! I want a gobbler too!! :_| Or chickens . Chickens would be the next best thing . :-) Looks in newspaper for affordable "lifestyle block" . Hmmm, chickens might be a trifle expensive . . . . :p [b]Happy Anniversary for tomorrow, Big Bruv! Congratulations to you both . :x :-) |

| 129561 | 2003-03-20 22:53:00 | I have a perfectly good waste disposal system. We keep it outside the back door. It's called a rubbish tin. Jack |

| 129562 | 2003-03-20 23:54:00 | Hi Susan Standby for outburst of domestic trivia: Having a waste disposal eliminates food scraps from your rubbish making it odour free . Anything that can't go down the gobbler but will decompose and/or smell (such as big bones or meat wrappers) goes into a plastic shopping bag in the freezer and goes out on rubbish morning . That plus recycling of all paper, glass, plastic and metal means we put out only one rubbish bag per month for a normal (sort of) family of two adults & two teenagers . Compost heaps breed flies, rubbish tins likewise, even in the best managed of families . We have so few flies even in the height of summer that our children have a fit if they see one inside the house . Also, our rubbish bag is totally unattractive to dogs, cats, ants, flies, rats, mice, possums and other miscellaneous creatures . Make your husband rubbish monitor, give him a badge to wear and a stamp on his hand, and he will soon enough decide that waste disposals are an indispensible domestic appliance . We drop the occasional piece of cutlery down ours but it is easy to get out . It must be hell for you living in pioneer house . ]:) Cheers Billy 8-{) :D Trying to follow your husband's logic, we don't use our dishwasher as a waste disposal either . ?:| |
